How to convert standard gravities to feet per second squared
Standard gravity is exactly 9.80665 m/s². It is a conventional reference, not a claim about gravity at every location. The Gal equals one centimeter per second squared.
Use x for the value in g₀, b for the intermediate value in m/s², and y for the result in ft/s².
ft/s² = g₀ × 9.80665 ÷ 0.3048
Worked examples
10 g₀ ≈ 321.740485564 ft/s²
Step 1: (10 × 9.80665) ≈ 98.0665 m/s².
Step 2: 98.0665 ÷ 0.3048 ≈ 321.740485564 ft/s².20 g₀ ≈ 643.480971129 ft/s²
Step 1: (20 × 9.80665) ≈ 196.133 m/s².
Step 2: 196.133 ÷ 0.3048 ≈ 643.480971129 ft/s².
Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.
About Standard gravities
Standard gravities (g₀) measures acceleration under the conventions above. The base value in m/s² is (x × 9.80665), where x is the numerical value in g₀. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
About Feet per second squared
Feet per second squared (ft/s²) measures acceleration under the conventions above. The base value in m/s² is (x × 0.3048), where x is the numerical value in ft/s². Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
